Eurosceptic Populists Win, Mainstream Parties Lose

Italy's inconclusive parliamentary election leaves open a wide range of possible alliances, putting the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement in the drivers' seat as the largest party.

Founded in 2009 by comedian Beppe Grillo, who denounced cronyism in Italian politics, Five Star is now led by Luigi Di Maio, 31. Di Maio noted Monday that no campaign bloc had obtained a majority and that the 5-Stars had strong showings from north to south.

The former prime minister warned about "a wind of extremism" in Italy and ruled out his party acting as a "crutch" for any future populist government.

"No, no, no", Salvini said when asked about the possibility of governing with the 5-Stars. Meanwhile, the country's variegated populist parties hold a combined comfortable lead of approximately 55 percent.

The ruling left of the PD, which has been characterized as an ostrich with its head in the sand, ignoring Italy's migrant crisis on the one hand and its catastrophic economic predicament on the other, fell to its lowest level in decades, essentially confirming predictions of a "collapse" of the establishment left.
